Curiosity: Drilling pavement at Pahrump

FRB_464612263EDR_F0421020FHAZ00206M_Sol 756, September 21, 2014. Drilling in progress: the instrument arm sits on the cracked expanse of bare rock “pavement” lying at the foot of the Pahrump Hills (background, center and right).

As reported earlier, if project scientists are correct, this unit may be the layer that underlies the entire 5-kilometer-high stack of sediments making up Mount Sharp.
